One of the commands of our Lord Jesus is, "Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel". All the world includes the prisons. It is a huge and largely underserved mission field. I endeavor to shed light on the mission field of prisons, delve into statistics on women in prison and share the nuts and bolts of the ministry the Lord has given me. The US incarcerates 716 people for every 100,000 residents and that's more than any other nation in the world. Christian ministries can and must address the despair, hopelessness and recidivism that keeps these women in a revolving door of prison to community then back to prison. I believe that the gospel of Jesus Christ can provide transformational change in every life. The word of God, empowered by the Holy Spirit, can address the deepest needs of human beings: needs for significance, love and acceptance. This population is comprised of women who have been abused, broken and wounded. They have made poor choices that led to their incarceration. Whatever their background issues or crime, we are there to bring the gospel of Jesus Christ, share the love of God and minister the word of God -- the Bible.
